Julie Merritt replied to the discussion 'Has anyone ever used ribbon when deorating/taping their hoops?'
"Clear tape would make it slippery too, whereas the fabric is a great replacement for the gaffer tape.  I've seen ALL fabric hoops, no tape at all.  That's what I want to know how to keep on.  How to adhere the fabric?"

"I'd love to know the answer too.  I know it's great to hoop with because I've tried one, but how do you adhere the ribbon?  I've seen strips of fabric used also.  Beautiful vintage look!"

A New Trick: The Escalator

My zentai suit is from Milanoo! It's a standard small, which is a little loose around my wrists and ankles. I also got eye holes and a detachable hood. According to a zentai forum, Milanoo is not known for great quality or for being dependable, but they're pretty cheap and I just wanted to give it a try, you know?
Thank you for the comment, by the way
